Seems Hillary was lying once again ... a true 'slush fund' .. it 'slushes' back and forth between Hillary and the DNC ending up on Hillary's side of the 'slush pool' ... the states and the down ticket candidates are lucky if any of that 'slush' even leaves a 'bathtub ring' level of funds after Hillary is done with them.
Oh, but I bet you're not going to hear any of this from future press secretary Maddow.
In the days before Hillary Clinton launched an unprecedented big-money fundraising vehicle with state parties last summer, she vowed to rebuild our party from the ground up, proclaiming when our state parties are strong, we win. Thats what will happen."
But less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised by that effort has stayed in the state parties coffers, according to a POLITICO analysis of the latest Federal Election Commission filings.

For example, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party received $43,500 from the victory fund on Nov. 2, only to transfer the same amount to the DNC that same day. The pattern repeated itself after the Minnesota party received transfers from the victory fund of $20,600 on Dec. 1 (the party sent the same amount to the DNC the next day) and $150,000 on Jan. 4 (it transferred the same amount to the DNC that day).

Good for Rachel. I saw that, and she did just fine. Bernie is trashing his own legacy.
